there's way more videos on youtube about it as mentioned above, but this one seems quite good since it's a vlog

Re: Invisalign..?I'm using Clearalign braces which are basically Invisalign but just a different make/brand.
I'm on my 5th week at the moment and the results are definitely noticeable! (I have moderate movement taking place)
I change to a different brace every week rather then the traditional method of the 'train tack' braces.
The first day or 2 of each new brace is uncomfortable but when it gets to the 3rd day you get used to it
I can't exactly say if it's more effective opposed to the normal braces that the NHS usually use as i've never had them but they are definitely harder to spot by others. 5 weeks in and no one has noticed them when i'm out in public! Soooo a big yes if you have possible confidence issues.
I payed around £2400 and I cannot for the life of me remember how long the treatment is, i'm just going with it! (Clearalign is supposedly cheaper opposed to Invisilign? Thats what my dentist said...)
The only downside I would point out is that you have to take them out when eating anything. I attempted to eat simple things with them in and it just made me look like a freak :P Water is really the only thing that you drink with them in or else you'll stain the brace. (Red wine for example is a BIG NO) So in that respect it's a bit of an annoyance but you get used to it after a while.
Hope that helps, any other questions you have don't be hesitant to ask
